I decided to buy an Xserve for a website that I am creating. The Xserve has two main purposes which are to, well, act as a server, as well as become an addition to my collection.
Here are the specs:
(2) Dual Core Intel Xeon Processors at 2.0 GHz,
(2) Hot Swappable 80GB Hard Drives
4GB of Ram
RAID Card
Dual PSU's
This cost $276 plus shipping which, although is probably pricey (I'm not good at deciding what a good price would be), I am happy with it.
Hopefully, I will be able to put this to good use and the website will be a success.

Congrats and good luck on the site!
I haven't been watching Xserve prices, so I have no idea on price either. Cheaper than a Mac Pro with similar power, last time I checked...that's for sure.

That's a good choise!
Xserve's are just so cool. Always wanted one, but probl. not for running anything, they're quite noisy to run at corner of the living room :lol: probl. get one when such oppurtinity comes around.

As far as price, I scored a DP 2.3 G5 for $100. Never been used (still have the box) and came loaded with a 80G and 2 500G drives. The megaraid card is utter crap, and since I already have a SuperI7XenMonster server, I dont need RAID for the Xserve. I'm really looking for one of those small SATA bundle doo-hickeys but thats for another day
